1984年、東京生まれ、東京育ち。

1989年〜2003年、筑波大学附属小学校〜高校での学校教育によって、現在の人格（自由奔放、食欲旺盛、）が形成された。個性豊か（=変人）は褒め言葉。

2003年、防衛医科大学校入校。成績優秀で国家試験対策委員長を任されたものの、在籍中に登山にハマり、登山経験の上昇に伴い成績は急降下。試験前日まで城ヶ崎でクライミングに勤しみ、最低点で医師国家試験に合格。

2009年、防衛医科大学校卒業後、航空自衛隊に医官として任官し、主に低圧環境に関わる訓練や研究に従事。その間、山岳医療に関する論文執筆、航空救難隊との山岳訓練、離島勤務などを経験。 

2015年、日本で42番目の国際山岳医取得。

2017年、山梨県北杜市にて山岳医療パトロール活動を開始。以後、現在まで継続中。 

2020年、防衛医科大学校研究科博士課程(うち1年間、英国留学)を卒業。研究テーマは高山病のメカニズム解明。 

2022年、自衛隊員としての立場での活動に限界を感じ、航空自衛隊を退職(退職時、2等空佐)。山梨県北杜市に移住し、山岳医療サポート事務所を設立。WMAインストラクターへ。

2024年、YouTuberとしての活動を本格的に開始。「山岳医chippecoちゃんねる。」にて山岳医療に関する役立つ情報を夫婦で配信中。

I want to make Japan’s outdoor environment better! With this vision in mind, I became a WMA instructor, hoping to spread wilderness emergency medicine. Drawing from my knowledge and experience as a former Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) medical officer and an international mountain doctor, I strive to provide courses that are clear, in-depth, and fun to learn. My goal is to become the "ultimate instructor."

 

Born in Tokyo in 1984 and raised in Tokyo.

1989–2003, attended Tsukuba University-affiliated elementary, junior high, and high schools, which shaped my current personality—free-spirited and always hungry. Being unique (= a bit eccentric) is a compliment!

2003, entered the National Defense Medical College. Performed well academically and was appointed chairman of the national medical exam preparation committee. However, I became deeply passionate about mountaineering during my time at the college, and as my climbing experience grew, my grades plummeted. The day before my final exam, I was still climbing at Jogasaki—but I managed to pass the national medical exam with the lowest possible score.

2009, graduated from the National Defense Medical College and was commissioned as a medical officer in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Primarily engaged in training and research related to low-pressure environments. During this time, I published academic papers on mountain medicine, participated in mountain training with the Air Rescue Team, and worked in remote island assignments.

2015, became the 42nd person in Japan to earn the Diploma in Mountain Medicine (DiMM).

2017, started mountain medical patrol activities in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, which I continue to this day.

2020, completed a PhD at the National Defense Medical College (including one year of study in the UK). My research focused on the mechanisms of altitude sickness.

2022, feeling limited in my role as an SDF officer, I resigned from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (rank at resignation: Lieutenant Colonel). Moved to Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and established a Mountain Medical Support Office. Became a WMA instructor.

2024, began full-scale activities as a YouTuber. Together with my wife, I share useful information about mountain medicine.
